Unfortunately, in the standard game, if the spouse dies, you cannot get married again. There are mods, however, that allow re-marriage.

Where can I find Maramal in Skyrim?

Try Bee and Barb in Riften; he is usually in the middle of the room preaching about Mara, the goddess of love. Or he could be in the temple of Mara.

You need to be a Thane of a city to be able to purchase a house there. You can do things for the Jarl to become Thane. As far as I know you can be Thane of just about any stronghold.

Question

How can I marry Madesi in Skyrim?

Community Answer

You can't in the base game, since Madesi is not a follower. If you're on PC, you can use a console command though. Type ` to open the command while Madesi is selected and execute "addtofaction 19809 1" to make Madesi marriageable.
